Start!Walking TODAY!

The facts are clear! Walking is one of the best ways to improve your health and protect your heart! Hundreds of Minnesotans kicked off the Third Annual National Start! Walking Day at Harriet Island in St. Paul today!

Walk more.
Eat better.
Live a longer, healthier life.

Hundreds of Minnesotans kicked off the Third Annual National Start! Walking Day at Harriet Island in St. Paul this morning! Now is the time for YOU to jump on board. Join them in the Start! Movement, get walking and start taking a more active role in your health!
